If you lost all ability to learn but retained all of your current cognitive characteristics and personality would you cease to be a human being?

No, probably not. A human isn't necessarily the same thing as a person. If someone lost the ability to learn, they would lose... something that makes them a person. If they lost it before learning anything, then yes, I suppose.
